Honolulu firefighters said around 11:15 p.m., 35 crew members responded to the two-alarm fire at the St. Patrick Church Food and Outreach on 2117 Palolo Avenue where they arrived to find black smoke coming from the basement-level kitchen of the structure.

The fire was brought under control at 11:50 p.m. and fully extinguished by midnight.

HFD said no one was in the building at the time of the fire and that there were no injuries. The estimated damage is $1000.

HFD has closed the case with the cause of the fire being undetermined. However, HFD said the case can be reopened if new information is discovered.

Scientists agree that the Earth has been warming due to human-induced climate change, and as temperatures continue to rise, an increasing amount of severe weather events are expected to occur. Hawaii has already been seeing some of the impacts, researchers say, so how can the state prepare for more severe effects in the future?
